wow.........a matter of hours.....i will pick a couple of these up so I can continue cabbing when the zombie apocalypse comes........ it was the large time commitment that made me not like tumbling rocks......I discovered cabbing several years ago and new that it was something I wanted to do and in time would own my own machine.....around 3 or four years passed before I finally built my own 6 wheeler.....I , like the supposed successful ones in the ad above , had success on my first try......it was a polka dot agate.....its shape was free form and was not particularly inspiring but boy did that baby shine !......I have not pursued the hobby as fervently as many of you but at birthday times or christmas I get the wheels spinning.....it is a really cool thing to be able to cut a decent cab now and then or two or three if the mood hits.....each time I am impressed not so much with my self but at the beauty the earth has for us if we only know where to look and how to bring it out...........no I dont think I will be shopping for a Lortone Stroker any time soon.....but hats off to Micellular for having the patience to do such a nice job polishing by hand !!..............

If you have moderate skills you can build your own machine......I did.....the most expensive parts were the diamond wheels.....I pit a total of 700 or so dollars into my build.....half the cost of a new genie ...........just a thought

no doubt the genie will be a wonderful tool for you.........If I could have found a used one local I might have bout one instead of building but I am glad I built.......feels good to make cabs on something I built...........

If you are not handy at building things , do you have a friend or family member who is handy? ...I did not follow any plans I just looked at several machines and went from there....I will post a pic of my finished cabber....it's not pretty but it works well..........
